One of the Houston area's most popular warm weather attractions opens again for business this weekend, just in time for higher temperatures.

Spring's Wet'n'Wild SplashTown kicks off its 2018 season on Saturday, May 5. The gates are slated to open at 10 a.m. sharp.

From that day forward, the water park along Interstate 45 North will be open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday until May 25, when it will be open every day until the early fall.

Wet'n'Wild SplashTown, open for 33 years, has gone through many major upgrades over the past few years to keep up with other parks in the Houston area.

Summer isn’t complete without a trip to the water park but some aquatic attractions can be downright freaky.

The park first opened in 1984 as the short-lived Hanna-Barbera Land and became SplashTown in 1986. It was at one time owned by theme-park operator Six Flags, which also operated the departed AstroWorld. It was renamed Wet'n'Wild SplashTown after renovations in 2014.

Also new for 2018 is the Gold Pass, which offers everything included in the standard season pass plus free parking, a souvenir water bottle and special days designated to bring a friend to the park for free.
